Death Countdown: 6D

004

A lot of things happened the day before, and Yushan Chaodeng was very tired both physically and mentally. However, at 6:30 the next morning, he opened his eyes on time.

Public security officers do not need to sit in the office like ordinary criminal police. Everyone basically has their own work to deal with, and unless it is a specific task assigned by the superiors, they rarely go out together.

But Miyama Asato is different. He has the mark of Furuya Rei on him, so of course he has to give priority to his boss's request. Furuya Rei is the century's top scorer, a rare workaholic. Miyama Asato complained when he first got up early, until he found out that Furuya Rei's biological clock was to go to bed at three and get up at five...

Today is the day he plans to resign. He originally wanted to sleep until he wakes up naturally before going to the police station, but his biological clock defeated him.

Now that he was awake, Yushan Chaodeng rolled over on the bed holding the little dinosaur pillow reluctantly, ready to get up.

Although it would not be fun to go to Furuya Rei and resign in person, he did not want to waste his precious time lying in bed.

Miyama Chaodeng put the milk into the microwave while holding a toothbrush in his mouth. Drinking milk every day was his habit. After his glass heart was broken by Furuya Rei on his first day at work, he secretly made this strange decision that he must be taller than Furuya Rei, and even if he was scolded in the future, he must make Furuya Rei look up at him.

…From the growth period at the age of nineteen to now, I have stopped growing as an adult, and I am still six centimeters away from realizing this wish.

Taking the milk out of the microwave, Yu Shan sighed pretentiously and raised his cup towards the void like the frustrated people in TV dramas: "To the future that will never come."

When he was about to drink it all in one gulp, his hand suddenly went numb, and the glass slipped from his hand, hitting the ground with a huge white splash.

“…”

The smile on Yushan Chaodeng's face became stiff. He lowered his head, and his hair covered his eyes. After a long while, he squatted down and poked the broken cup with his fingers: "...It's time to change it."

Then he looked at his trouser legs that were splashed with milk, and said helplessly, "I have to change all my clothes, too. That's the trouble with suits."

…

Miyama Chaodeng met Kazami Yuya at the gate of the community who brought him a computer. Yesterday he just wanted to leave quickly, so of course he didn't take the computer thrown on the back seat of the scrapped car.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he was caught up by Yuya Kazami, who was calling his name. Yuyama turned his head towards Deng, and Yuya Kazami's expression instantly became very uneasy. He handed the computer to him with both hands: "Mr. Yuyama, this is..."

As for the computer, he has a spare one at home, and he wrote a new resignation letter last night. This computer is for work only, and there is no ** in it, so it is of no use now.

"I'll leave it with you first." Yushan Chaodeng said casually, waving at him, "Wait for me... maybe it can come in handy."

If anyone above them wants to ask about his work content, they can just look it up on the computer, whether he is there or not.

Yuya Kazami was stunned. He had never seen Miyama Asato speak to others in this manner.

In his impression, Miyama Asato is the kind of genius who is serious about everything he does, cool and capable. In addition, he always takes his work very seriously, which makes him a little difficult to approach.

But Kazami would still try to chat with Miyama Asato, even if it would be silent most of the time, Miyama Asato would always respond to him no matter what the topic was.

Yushan Chaodeng is a very good person, but he is too serious and seems a little cold.

But just now, Kazami felt as if the string that had been binding Miyama Asato was cut by someone, and he seemed to no longer care about those unimportant things, and his whole body became relaxed.

Yuya Kazami stood there holding his colleague's computer, staring blankly at Asato Miyama's gradually receding figure. Suddenly, an electric current struck him in his mind.

——Does work have such a big impact on people? It was a wise decision for Miyama to resign!

By the way, didn’t Officer Yushan drive today?

·

It would have been fine if he hadn't felt anything before, but after what happened this morning, Yushan Chaodeng would definitely not choose to drive out.

He went into a convenience store near his home and borrowed the store's printer to print out his resignation letter. The store was still a bit busy at that time, so at the invitation of the clerk, he sat behind the counter, operated it himself, and then waited in front of the printer for his resignation letter to come out.

The machine in the store seemed to be broken. Yushan Chaodeng waited for five minutes but his document didn't come out, so he planned to ask the clerk next to him.

However, the moment he turned around, the clerk let out a terrible scream, and the middle-aged man who was paying turned purple and fell backwards. Behind him, a young woman dressed as a white-collar worker and a man who looked a little sneaky who were waiting to pay showed horrified expressions.

The electronic doorbell at the entrance of the convenience store suddenly said "Welcome", and a bespectacled teenager in a blue suit rushed in, opened the door with both hands, and was followed closely by a man with a mustache on his lips.

The young boy had a serious expression on his face. He turned around and said loudly to the person behind him: "Sister Lan, call the police quickly!"

Yushan said to Dengxin that it would be better to just stay in bed and laze in bed.

-

Conan rushed to the corpse as soon as he came in. After getting closer, he finally saw Miyama Asato who was trying his best to reduce his presence. However, his white hair was very conspicuous. If there had not been a person lying on the ground in the store today, no matter who entered the store, he would be the first person to be noticed.

Conan was visibly relieved after seeing Miyama Asato.

Officer Miyama is a public security officer, but for some reason they have met several times at the crime scene. He is considered very capable among the police officers that Edogawa Conan has met, and is the opposite of Yamamura Sou, who is also in the professional group. And he doesn't care about him running around the crime scene-

Of course he was not really running around. Although he looked like an elementary school student, Edogawa Conan's real identity was the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi. He witnessed a secret transaction and was fed drugs and turned into a child.

Conan Edogawa dares to swear on the reputation of his father, the famous artist Kudo Yusaku, that he is always doing his job at the crime scene, and when he is around, most of the cases are solved by him, and then he tells the story using the identity of Mori Kogoro.

After all, the fact that Kudo Shinichi is still alive cannot be let out to others, and he can only be tossed around like a troublesome child.

Only Miyama Chaodeng was very friendly to him. Although he always had a cold expression, he would not hinder him and would occasionally give him a little convenience.

He also heard from Officer Takagi that Miyama Asato was different from other public security officers and was a good person. Hearing this evaluation from a detective who had always been at odds with the public security, Conan became more certain of his thoughts.

All in all, Edogawa Conan had a very good impression of Miyama Asato, and smiled at Miyama Asato: "Officer Miyama, I actually met you here!"

Even though Miyama Asato was not familiar with this work, as a passerby he had heard the nickname of the child in front of him, the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student. He thought to himself that he was indeed a dying man and could even see the Grim Reaper.

He let out a half-concealed sigh, not wanting to pick on the kid, so he just nodded as a response.

When they heard that he was a policeman, some people began to lose control of their expressions. Miyama Chaodeng noticed it, but he was too lazy to care. Anyway, with this little detective in front of him, any crime would be exposed.

Conan didn't care about his coldness. After several contacts, he had already understood Miyama Asato's character. Officer Miyama just didn't like to talk, but every time he opened his mouth, it was crucial.

Conan began to investigate the scene. His plan failed when he asked the clerk if there was something wrong with the printer. The clerk was so frightened by the sudden death of the victim that he sat in the corner unable to move. Miyama Asato could only study the printer by himself.

But before he could figure out anything, people from the Investigation Section arrived urgently.

Miyama Asato's own boss was already very aggressive, but every time he saw the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department next door, who would rush to the scene to handle the case within five minutes of receiving a call, no matter day or night, rain or shine, he would be very glad that it was the Police Department that invited him first.

After seeing Miyama Chaodeng, the police officers greeted him very friendly: "Inspector Miyama."

Even when Inspector Megure saw him, he patted his shoulder happily and said, "Brother Miyama, you are here too!"

Miyama Chaodeng has heard him call the uncle over there "Mori-san", and has also heard him refer to Kudo Shinichi as "Kudo-san". He sometimes wonders if this is because of the generation difference, as Kudo Shinichi and Mr. Mori's daughter seem to be a couple, right?

He had a vague impression that it was something from his previous life and he couldn't remember the details.

"Brother Miyama?" Seeing that he had not responded, Inspector Megure asked in confusion.

Yushan Chaodeng came back to his senses and pointed vaguely at the printer over there: "Print something."

"Oh, so that's why... why don't you go to the office and fight?" Officer Megure accepted his statement and asked casually.

The office has a printer, and paper is replenished and ink cartridges are replaced regularly. Sometimes people use it to do personal things, and these are all tacitly accepted uses.

Yushan Chaodeng was stunned for a moment: "Not so good, right?"

It is very strange to use a public printer to print a resignation letter to a public company.

Inspector Megure didn't expect his moral sense to be so high. He patted his shoulder as a person who had experienced it and said with a smile: "Everyone is like this. It's totally fine to use it occasionally."

Yushan Chaodeng lowered his head and stopped talking. Everyone knew that he was a man of few words, so it was not surprising. Everyone returned to their respective positions and began to investigate the case.

With Conan's help, the case was quickly solved. Miyama Asato watched the reasoning show of the sleeping Kogoro for the last time. Then the murderer knelt on the ground and explained his reasons for committing the crime, as well as the classic "I can't forgive him".

Because Miyama Asato was also at the scene when the crime happened, he waited until the case was over and when Inspector Megure and his team escorted the criminal into the car, and then left with them.

He put his hands in his pockets and stood at the door of the convenience store, intending to wait until all the people from the Metropolitan Police Department left before leaving. This is an intersection, so it is convenient to take a taxi.

Mao Lilan woke up her sleeping father. Mao Li Kogoro, who was already half asleep, held his head and asked, "Did I fall asleep again?"

"That's right, Dad has solved another case." Mao Lilan squatted in front of him and helped him up.

Maori Kogoro's legs were numb from sleeping, so he could only let his daughter help him walk a few steps. Maori Ran called another family member: "Conan, it's time to go - what are you doing?"

"Okay--" Conan responded in a long voice. When he passed by the printer, it suddenly made a noise. Then the printer that had been stuck for more than half an hour finally spit out a piece of paper.

Conan remembered what Miyama Asato said just now, and looked around the store. He found that Miyama Asato had already left. He stood on tiptoe to take out the paper, glanced at the things on it casually, and shouted Miyama Asato's name: "Officer Miyama, you forgot your things...huh?"

He pushed open the door of the convenience store and saw Asato Miyama standing next to him. Not far away, Officer Megure and his team had not yet gotten into the car.

Conan's eyes widened. He eagerly grabbed the hem of Miyama Chaodeng's windbreaker and asked, "Officer Miyama, do you want to resign?"

Instantly, the entire convenience store entrance fell silent, and the police officers from the First Investigation Division looked over with shocked expressions.

Once again, Miyama Asato became the center of attention because of the news of his resignation. He was not as nervous as last time. He squatted down in front of Conan and looked at the child at eye level.

What about not wanting to target children, and what about the last bit of kindness before death, all turned into powder and disappeared into the air with Conan's words.

I want to die (but not really die)

Don't look at me, help me

...Haha, interesting

Don't live, everyone.

Today I will start with Kudo Shinichi's vest

Miyama Asato's mentality returned to normal. He pinched the paper in Conan's hand with his index and middle fingers, pulled it gently, and took it back into his own hand.

He heard the electronic doorbell of the convenience store behind him say "Welcome" again, and knew that it was Maori Ran who was helping Maori Kogoro out.

Miyama Chaodeng raised his hand to help Conan straighten his bow tie, and said in a voice that only a few people around them could hear: "Let me teach you something, Kudo Shinichi. Don't be so curious, it's troublesome."

There was a "boom" in Conan's ears, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint. Maori Ran loosened her hand that was supporting her old father, and Maori Kogoro almost fell down.

She looked at Miyama Chaodeng anxiously: "What Shinichi? Are you talking about Shinichi, Mr. Miyama?"

Miyama Chaodeng stood up, nodded slightly to her, and without any explanation, walked through the cars of the Investigation Section 1 who were shocked by the news of his resignation.

The white-haired young man walked away alone, and his back looked a little lonely.

It was not until his back was out of sight that the police officers broke out into a discussion.

"No way, is he really going to resign? Isn't he going to be promoted to Superintendent of Police this year?"

"If the situation were reversed, if I were him, I would stick to it even if I had to ride a unicycle to work every day!"

"Speaking of which, a colleague of mine mentioned this to me yesterday. He said that he and Inspector Miyama went on a mission together yesterday, and he seemed very tired..."

Officer Megure frowned as he stared at his back, and also stopped his officers: "Alright, don't mention this matter again, and don't discuss it in private. If I find out, I won't let you go!"

The police officers fell silent and got in the car to go back to the police station. Someone saw from the window that Edogawa Conan was anxiously explaining something, and the girl next to him was frowning at him.

He shook his head. Although Inspector Megure forbade him to discuss the matter, he still took out his cell phone, found the chat box of the person who told him the news yesterday, and sent something out.

…

Furiya Rei hasn't been to the National Police Agency for a while. The last time was probably last year... As an undercover agent sent out, he would never come to a place like the National Police Agency in his early years, but now that he has more power in his hands, it would be beneficial to his work for him to come here occasionally to report on his work.

He came here today because he promised Yushan Chaodeng.

Furutani Rei unbuttoned the second button on his suit, leaned back and sat on the swivel chair. He raised his arms to cover his eyes, and the swivel chair turned half a circle to face the window with drawn curtains.

Miyama Chaodeng has followed him for more than three years. From a green police academy graduate to a mature public security officer who can now stand on his own, Furukaya Rei has watched him all the way and witnessed his growth.

Because he taught him personally, every action he took carried the mark of making him very comfortable. It can be said that Yushan Chaodeng is his most proud subordinate and partner.

However, the other party said he wanted to resign.

After hanging up the phone yesterday, Furuya Rei went straight to Miyama Asato's residence to wait for him. Just like he said, he didn't want to win her back... Of course, it would be better if he could win her back, but he just wanted to make sure that Miyama Asato was not just angry.

But last night's meeting ended in a bad mood. After thinking for a while, he made another appointment to meet today.

Fūya Rei himself is also reflecting on whether he should be more gentle to Miyama Asato...

It is really——

Suddenly, Furiya Rei's cell phone rang. He kept his previous action and took out the phone to answer it.

"Hello."

"Mr. Furuya, something terrible has happened!" The anxious voice of Yuya Kazami came from the other end of the phone. He spoke very quickly, "Inoue, who worked with us last night, told me that one of his colleagues in the First Investigation Division met Mr. Miyama at a convenience store at the scene of the crime this morning. He seemed to be printing..."

"Bang!"

Before Kazami could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly came from Furiya Rei's side.

Furukaya Rei stood up directly. The white-haired young man stood at the door, his handsome face made an arrogant expression, and his golden cat eyes stared at Furukaya Rei who was holding a mobile phone.

"Miyazan..." Furugaya Ling called out his name and watched the adjutant getting closer and closer, with a piece of paper folded in two in his hand.

Miyama Asato usually doesn't like to smile, or rather, according to Furuya Rei's observation, Miyama Asato doesn't like to smile at just anyone. Usually, he has a cold expression, which doesn't change no matter what happens. Only when facing him, will there be some warmth.

Just like a rather aloof cat, he is very difficult to conquer. As long as he treats people a little specially, he will inevitably feel flattered.

Yushan Chaodeng walked up to him, facing him who was also standing there. Inevitably, he had to slightly raise his head to look him in the eye.

The white-haired young man pursed his lips, and finally stuffed the paper into Fūya Rei's arms somewhat roughly, then left without looking back.

Fūya Rei was stunned for a moment, holding the paper in one hand, and after a few seconds he put it on the table and unfolded it.

On the other end of the phone, Kazami hadn't hung up yet, and continued with his previous words in a somewhat weak voice: "...I have printed out the resignation letter."

Fūya Rei looked at the contents on the A4 paper, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, folded the paper as before and put it in his pocket, then said to Kazami: "Tell Inoue that this matter is not allowed to be discussed anymore."

…

Miyama Asato left the Superintendent's office of Furuya Rei, which was always empty and was used by only him, without looking back. He walked quickly and didn't even have time to talk to his colleagues who greeted him on the way.

He turned a corner and walked to the restroom on this floor. With trembling hands, he locked the door of the single cubicle. He held the door and rested his head on his arm.

“…How terrifying.”
